Relaxing and Calming My Baby

My Top Three Baby Calming Products

I was sitting there one night thinking about what my next lens could be and I was immediately hit with an idea after giving my son his bath while putting on his calming lotion.  There were some miracle products that I had found that help with calming and relaxing my baby and I decided I wanted to share those with other moms.  The products include Vicks Baby Rub, Johnsons Baby Bedtime Lotion, and Camilia Teething Relief.  I can not say enough about these products!  They truly have been life savers when my little guy is cranky.  It is tough when you are new mom too because you always seem to be second guessing what you think may be making your baby upset.  I remember staying up nights wondering sometimes if my baby would ever stop constantly waking up and crying, even though he had a clean diaper, a full tummy, and didn't have any signs of being sick or hurt.  I started reading books and asking everyone I could as to what else I could do.  I tried a few different products before we found these and how I wish I had them from the very beginning!  I hope another mom finds that these products help her during those extremely difficult situations.

My First Lens

 I wasn't quite sure about the world that I had entered when I started a profile on Squidoo. The first story I decided to write about was when I found out my mother had cancer while I was pregnant.  It was one of the worst and joyful experiences of my life all mixed into one.  I finally felt like I could deal with it all and that maybe I could get past the pain if I wrote about what happened and my reactions throughout it.  I started a draft and pretty much forgot about it for weeks.  Once I finally got back on Squidoo, I found that I had not yet published my lens.  I quickly got to work and once I published this first article I found that I wanted to immediately start the next.  With this article I decided that any money made from it should go towards a cancer charity on behalf of my mom.  I really appreciate and admire that Squidoo has that feature.  To read the lens click the following link: My First Lens
